Citizen Journalist To The Rescue

Mr Balls "Pulling No Punches" really shows us (Citizen Journos) how to write professionally in his Saturday piece.

He has a HUGE pop at his Archant colleagues for starters (I "always strive to focus on what happens on the pitch rather than off it, and on the direction in which Norwich City, and not ... any other club is going") and then proceeds to compare our transfer expenditure to that of Reading! Oops.

PS Question for everyone - which Championship manager gave away the following players: Nathan Tyson (22 gls this season), Scott Murray (11 gls from midfield this season) & Darius Henderson (14 gls this season) ?
